canuck45 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Ok Allen; you did what I asked about ages ago. You have a video in humour LMFAO and one is the oversized (the problem) and then you have a smaller one also. What is the secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1 RodEnuf Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Actually, there's only one there now. After uploading the clip, I clicked in the text entry box and then clicked the circled + in the thumbnail below the text box. That embedded a copy of the video clip into the text box. When I submitted the post, the two images, the big one in the text area and the medium one below, both showed up. So I went back and edited out the embedded image. Unfortunately, when I submitted the edited post, the one below grew to fill the width of the text column. I have not been able to find a way to get just one medium size (or actual size) playable video to show up. Anything I do to try to embed one and control its display size causes a second one to show up at the bottom of the post. Alan G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1 JTT Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 This has puzzled me too - because all you can work with is the maximum width - but I think in CSS I was able to set the max-height as 500px which fits a screen nicely. Try it out and see if you notice any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-1 canuck45 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) didn't seem to work either way. If I open it in a new tab it is fine. Edited April 15, 2020 by canuck45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1 RodEnuf Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 JTT, the problem only occurs when a video is uploaded to a post, not when a URL to a video is inserted into the post. And the problem is that the width of the video player is set to 100% of the width of the text display area of the post, even if the actual pixel width of the post is narrower. Note that in Adrian's "dropped in video" the player fills the width, even though the video was shot in portrait mode. Alan G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-1 JTT Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah width is 100% now.... but max height is 500 pixels so at least if you include a portrait mode video, you can see it without having to scroll up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Allen; you did what I asked about ages ago. You have a video in humour LMFAO and one is the oversized (the problem) and then you have a smaller one also.
What is the secret?
